The word cataplana refers not only to the utensil but also to the dishes that are prepared in it. The characteristics of this pan allow a wide range of dishes to be created that are a delight for all the senses and are good for one’s heart, as the cataplana enables little fat to be used in recipes. Throughout this experience, participants will have the opportunity to discover all the potential of the most iconic utensil in Algarve gastronomy, and will learn to make a cataplana with fish and shellfish.

One of the best ways to understand a place is by tasting its cuisine – and the Algarve is no different. In Tertúlia Algarvia's Culinary Classes we take this a step further by learning how to prepare the most iconic regional dish: the tasty - cataplana. Head to the kitchen for a fun and authentic cooking class and by the time it’s over, you’ll have created a delectable dish to enjoy for lunch or dinner! This activity starts at 11.30 or 6:30 pm at Tertúlia Algarvia´s Restaurant and Culinary School with a complete menu that includes starters, drinks, the cataplanas made in cooking class and dessert.

Top Notch Experience

Alex is a wonderful teacher and was superflexible with dietary restrictions. The whole cadence of the experience was perfect with being served drinks beforehand, the class, followed by delicious apps and the cataplana that we made. The cooking area is beautiful and clean and the ingredients were so fresh. Top notch! Obrigado Alex!!

Memorable cooking experience!

Amazing cataplana cooking class for our family of four! Doris was a fantastic teacher and made the whole experience fun and easy. We cooked a delicious seafood cataplana, then enjoyed it with wine and appetizers on the beautiful patio. Loved it so much we bought a cataplana pot afterwards to take home with us so we can recreate the dish! Highly recommend!

Fun class, nice facility, great lunch

We had a great time cooking with Doris. She took the time to explain the process, the history and the ingredients. We had a lot of fun cooking Cataplana and then enjoying a lovely lunch afterwards with our cataplana, potatoes, bread, wine and dessert.
